What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Price depends as much on the buyer as the seller. Frankly, you put an LS in one of these, and I wouldn't give you a $100 for it, even you invested $100,000.00.

If I am a buyer, what the seller thinks it's worth is irrelevant to me. What is important is what I am willing to pay. I may wait a long time to get what I want for what I am willing to pay, but I have succeeded in the past, and I no doubt will succeed again in the future.

I know its been already mentioned on here but a 25/30k truck where the seller says the A/C is there and just needs a recharge, really your asking 25/30K for a nicely restored truck and don't want to spend a 100 to recharge the A/C. The other is its and original truck just needs a few things to get it back to normal and the underhood shot shows a chrome air cleaner ,yellow Accel wires and all the A/C stuff including the brackets missing.

Exactly,

There is a big dollar truck here that is suppose to be "Professional Restoration" and it doesn't even have a gas pedal on it in the pictures....

I always love the ones that are "Rust Free" along with the guys who start acting like they know nothing after you start pointing out issues.

Lots of fraud in these trucks today and if you don't research you will get burned.
